It's that wonderful time of year again, when the local summer produce is ready and available in abundance. I went to my favorite fresh market today and got a little carried away with the fruits and veggies. Fresh local Louisiana strawberries, cantaloupes, watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, and the list goes on. I like to have all of these on hand during the summer months and to be able to whip up a fruit or vegetable salad or recipe, on a moments notice. One recipe that I especially love to cook and eat is stuffed bell peppers. Sometimes I stuff them with seafood and sometimes with meat or rice. Great as a side dish or as an entree with fried green tomatoes and corn on the cob. Cest bon, cher!

In large skillet, on medium heat, brown ground beef with Cajun seasoning, Tabasco, and salt and drain excess oil. Add chopped onions, bell peppers, celery, tomato, and garlic and stir fry for five minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, cream of mushroom soup and water, stir well and cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the cooked rice to the meat mixture and mix gently. Fill each bell pepper with meat and rice mixture and top with bread crumbs and dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Serves 6 Bon Appetit!
